Marketing Freedom for Grain Farmers Act  Mr. Speaker, I have a question for my colleague. I found it funny that, in the last three minutes of her speech, she talked about farmers having the right to choose what to do with their grain, even though this government is not even allowing them to decide what to do with the Ca

Marketing Freedom for Grain Farmers  Madam Speaker, I am pleased to have the opportunity to speak about another time allocation motion introduced by the Conservative government. In the past, the Conservatives were very angry when the Liberals did the same thing. However, now that they are in power, the Conservative

Marketing Freedom for Grain Farmers Act  Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to be able to ask a government member a question, because this is an important one that we often forget to ask. It has to do with something that all Canadians have a right to know: the cost of dismantling the Canadian Wheat Board. Many numbers have been

Marketing Freedom for Grain Farmers Act  Mr. Speaker, first, I would like to congratulate my colleague on her speech. She just spoke about the fact that producers have a right to organize and said that in unity, there is strength. Will the dismantling of the Canadian Wheat Board not deal a blow to small producers, who b

Canadian Broadcasting Corporation  Madam Speaker, we, too, are in favour of as much transparency as possible at the CBC, but being accountable does not mean ignoring political and legal processes. The actions of the member for Peterborough were illegitimate and illegal. This precedent is contrary to our instituti

Canadian Broadcasting Corporation  Madam Speaker, when will the government finally follow the advice of the Law Clerk and Parliamentary Counsel and stop playing judge and jury for the Federal Court of Appeal? Will the government finally listen to the Canadian Bar Association, Parliament's lawyer, and the oppositio

Keeping Canada's Economy and Jobs Growing Act  Mr. Speaker, I would like to ask the government member a question. He keeps telling us that tax credits are important and that there are a number of them. I would like to know what he thinks about the fact that the poorest people in the country will not have access to these tax

Louis Taillefer  Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to be speaking in the House today to congratulate one of my constituents, who has received a great honour. Louis Taillefer, a world-renowned specialist in quantum materials and superconductors, was recently awarded the Order of Canada. A physics profes

Canada Elections Act  Mr. Speaker, the Conservative Party is guilty of breaking the law. It is guilty of election fraud to the tune of $1.3 million. But under the agreement that was negotiated, two Conservative senators and two high-ranking Conservatives will avoid trial and potential prison time. Sin

Ending the Long-gun Registry Act  Mr. Speaker, I have a question for the hon. member for Beauharnois—Salaberry. Is the government standing up for victims by doing what it is doing right now? We know that a number of victims' groups want to keep the firearms registry. By acting this way, is this government living

Marketing Freedom for Grain Farmers Act  Mr. Speaker, I would like to ask almost the same question that I asked another member earlier because I did not receive a very clear or convincing answer. Members of the government seem very confident in the fact that the decision they are making to dismantle the Canadian Wheat

Marketing Freedom for Grain Farmers Act  Mr. Speaker, the hon. member told us that he used to be a farmer and never had a chance to respond to the Canadian Wheat Board survey he referred to. Like his Conservative colleagues, he seems very sure that all farmers in the west are against this board. Since he is so sure, I

Ethics  Mr. Speaker, is it true that the Minister of National Defence broke the rules regarding the use of government aircraft? I would like to quote an expert in the field who said, “The short answer is yes”. That is how the Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of National Defence re

Justice  Mr. Speaker, even former Minister of Public Safety Stockwell Day was opposed to electronic surveillance without a warrant. Can the minister confirm that his government is admitting that this surveillance initiative, an even greater intrusion into the lives of Canadians, has been

Restoring Mail Delivery for Canadians Act  Mr. Speaker, I thank the member for his question. In his speech, my colleague strayed a little from the topic we are discussing today. I would like to assure parliamentarians that all the New Democratic Party members of this House have stood firm and will continue to do so throu
